One of the big stories this weekend was that The Des Moines Register’s endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. The endorsement was a coup for Clinton, but now some GOP political insiders are telling Big Head DC that the newspaper hasn’t gone far enough to disclose its ties to the Clinton camp. The paper, they note, is owned by Gannett Company, Inc — and Donna Shalala, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, who was appointed and served under Bill Clinton throughout his presidency, sits on the Gannett board. The implication is that Shalala somehow influenced the endorsement. Evidence of that claim hasn’t turned up yet.

And if anyone would know, wouldn’t it be the king - er, queen - of the Village Voice:

Now that Donna Shalala, former Health and Human Services Secretary under Bill Clinton, is back in Washington making the media rounds as a joint head of the Military Medical Commission, she’s been spotted with more frequency going in and out of her classic abode in Georgetown.”Many ladies have gone in with her,” an in-the-know Georgetowner tells Big Head DC. “But not a lot of men.”

Oddly, the residence is speculated to have more than your average number of closets, too.

While Shalala had grown accostumed to hearing less questions about her sexuality now that she’s the president of the University of Miami and tends to sun with the blue-hairs, her arrival back on the DC scene has reignited the flames.
